Nomination oe Gen. Harrison.— The National Whig Convention, assembled at Harrisburgon thesth December, nominated William H. Harrison, Tor the office of President of the United States. On the first and second ballot, th* vote stood, for Hemy Clay. 103; for Harrison, 94; for Winfield Scott, 57. On the third ballot, the vote was, lor Harrison, 148 ; for Clay, 90; for Scott, 16. All the slave States went for Clay. We regard this as another im portant sign of the times—as a signal defeat o / the slave holding power in this country.—Hud it not been for Abolitionism, Henry Clay would undoubtedly have been nominated. We have faith to believe that, no slaveholder Kill ever again be permitted to Jilt the Fresidenlial office in this Republic. From the Emancipator, the organ of the Abolitionists in New York.

The reign of slavocracy is hastening to a close The re tet ion of Henry Clay and the nomination of William Henry Harrison, by die Whig Convention, taken in con uection with all the circumstances, is one of the heaviest blows that the monster slavery has received in this Country WIIY EVERY DEMOCRAT SHOULD VOTE FOR VAN BUREN. Because, from a poor friendless, and unaided boy, who labored during his youth as a hireling on a farm, he rose to the highest office in the world, by his own merits, and by his own exer tions—t\ms proving that no matter how poor a man may be, in this country, he may rise to the highest distinction, if he pleases, by his good conduct and ntolligence. Because, from his earliest youth he has gone for liis country with zeal and energy. All the principles of the Democratic party, have ever found in him a supporter and champion; while all the federal gull traps and falsehoods have been by him as staunchly and as effectively opposed. Because, although the unceasing ob ject of federal virulence and rage, they have been unable to detect one blot in his public character, “to mingle admiration or to gratify hatred.” Because, he has always raised his voice against the onward strides of the money power, Because, he has never hesitated about avowing himself against the madness of the Aboli tionists, and as utterly opposed to all their schemes Because -he has never shrunk from an avowal of his political creed, liis letter to Sherrod Williams and his whole history prove that he is not a lunatic under the control of keepers, or fallen into second childhood. Because, during the late threatening difficulties between this country, and England, he managed the affair so patriotic-like and so fearless of consequences, that his own enemies, placed, by their own votes in Congress, ten millions of dol lars at his disposal, as the sinews of expected war, arid authorized him to raise an army of fifty thou sand men Because, in all his public transactions, no vote of censure was ever preferred against him, oil account of neglect malfeasance, or deficiency. . Because having risen from naked po verty himself he is the fit representative of the poor Laboring-man and mechanic. ’ “Gen. Harrison, while Governor of Indiana Territory, approved a law passed by the Legislature, to SELL MEN for FINE or COST. The same law decreed the punishment of THIRTY NINE STRIPES, to be itiflicled on any person thus sold, who should abscond from his PURCHASER! Reader how do you like this specimen of Harrison ism, in addition to the Ohio case, and even worse than that; for the law specifically includes WOMEN as well as MEN to be WHIPPED to full THIRTY NINE STRIPES.” Harrison says the hcacl of the “ Black Cockade” administration waa a pure patriot. Hear him— “ For Mr. Adams, (old John,)said Mr. Harrison, l entertained at the time, (1799 and 1800,) and have ever since entertained, the greatest respect.

McKENZIE, Brest. J. Scarborough, Sec’y. (For the Daily Telegraph). Mr. Editor :—I have noticed in some of our newspapers (and I think in yours also) a paragraph copied from the London Sun, relative to an experi ment which may be made with a piece ofcoin, sus pended by a string, held by the thumb and finger over a glass, and it will vibrate like a pendulum, and strike the hour of the day. Now sir, that the pulses of the thumb and finger will cause this pen dulum to vibrate and strike against the glass is a well known fact, but the idea that it will strike the hqur like a clock, is so utterly absurd, that a person must have strong faith in the superna tural to believe it fora moment. I hope you will think the above, or something of tlie kind, worthy a place in your valuable paper, for the benefit of those who are inclined to believe every thing they read in the newspapers. (For the Daily Telegraph.) Mr. Editor: —lt is an old saying, “ that where the tongue touches, the tooth will ache.” Man kind are more apt to talk of that which they sensi bly feel for the moment, and which annoys them most, rather than examine the real cause of the pain, or from whence it springs. They are always more willing to trace the folly and imprudence of their own acts to the agency of others, rather than, like men, shoulder it themselves. The truth of these remarks has, without doubt, been verified hy the experience of every man. It is upon the force of these considerations, that the supporters of General Harrison for the Presi dency arc now acting. Aware of the frailty of hu man nature—as they cannot convince the intelli gence of the people—they seem determined to de ceive them, if practicable. Afraid to disclose the real sentiments and principles, either of themselves or their candidate, upon all the interesting ques tions involved in the approaching contest, they appeal, through their press and by their writers, on all public occasions, to the worst passions and feel ings of the people—the passions of avarice and re venge—hoping thereby to obtain for their candidate a support, which, under other circumstances, would be hopeless. But I trust in God, that there is yet enough of virtue and intelligence remaining in the people, which will, in the end, teach them their sad mistake, and read to them a lesson which will not easily be forgotten. And what is this appeal which is continually made to the passions, not the intelligence of the people, for the purpose of making them prove traitorous to themselves, their principles, and their country, and thereby aid in elevating General Harrison into the Presidential chair. Why, it is this—that the pre sent administration is corrupt, and that all the pe cuuiary distress and embarrassment under which our country has been suffering for a few years past, is exclusively owing to the acts of the past and pre sent administration—a charge as false as it is un founded, and which cannot he supported, as I shall endeavour to show, either upon reason or fact. The truth is, that any embarrassment we now expe rience in pecuniary matters, is exclusively the re sult of our own imprudence, folly and extravagance —and until we cease to ape the manners of others —control the disposition we have for wild and reck less speculation—curtail our expenses—and return to the good old republican standard of moderation, and living within our income, we must, and always will he emharrrassed. But let us return to this disingenuous appeal to the passions of the people, for the purpose of h >ls teringup a physically incapable candidate—a can didate, who, if elected, stands pledged to sanction a measure which is a direct violation of the coiisti tution, and which, of all others, has been the chief cause of the distress and embarrassment which we now feel, or have ever experienced in this country l mean the re-chartering of a Bank of the United •States with the money of the people, for the pur pose of speculating in the people. This is one of the groat question now at issue, and upon it de pends, as I verily believe whether we shall be a free, prosperous, and happy people for the future, or the slaves of a monied aristocracy, which musl eventually overturn the liberties of this country. Disguise it, as the supporters of General Harri son may, the great object they have in view in making this disengenious appeal to the passions of the people, is to warp their judgments, and, by se curing his election, if possible, obtain a re-charter of a Bank of the United States. Self interest is, therefore, at the bottom of this appeal. A few facts, which are stubborn things, will clearly expose its fallacy—and convince every reflecting man that it can only be used for the purpose of deception. Now, if you ask the supporters of General Harri son, what measures of the past or the present ad ministration, have been the cause of any pecuniary embarrassment the country has suffered, they will point you to the removal of the deposites from the United States Bank by General Jackson—the re fusal by Congress to recharter that Bank ; and the establishment by Congress of a Sub-Treasury for the safe keeping and disbursement of the public money. This last measure, permit me to say in passing, is too Democratic, in all its features, and too much within the grasp of the people, ever to meet with any countenance or support from Federalists. They desire something hy which the favoured few may be benefitted at the expense of the many, or in other words, a United States Bank. For the purpose of showing the disiugenuousness of this appeal, I will not go back to the years, 1811, 12, 13 and 14,and more especially to the year 1813, when the price of every article *of consumption was atleast one hundred per cent more than it is at pre sent, and when every staple commodity, raised in the country, brought at least one hundred per cent less than it does now, when pecuniary distress and embarrassment was felt throughout the whole length and breadth of these United Slates, for if I do, I shall he told that this was in consequence of the embargo and non-importation acts of the go vernment declaring war against England. But who said so then? Did the Republicans of these U. States say so? No. But did not Daniel Webster and his Federal allies, the Hartford Conventionists say so, who are now supporting General Harrison for the Presidency ? who gloried in our defeats, sneered at our misfortunes, and who considered it unbecoming a moral and religious people, to cele brate their victories ? And who do we now find at the head of the column, hearing up the flag of Harrison and Reform, hut this same Daniel Web ster? But I forbear any further comment on this point. This position of the history of our country, cannot, but be fresh in the recollection of every American, and will serve to test the principles and motives of some in our very midst, who are now the warm supporters of General Harrison. Let us, then come down to the years, 1816,1817, 1818. If I mistake not, we then had no war, and were at peace with all the world. Wc then had a United States Bank, with a capital of thirty five millions of dollars, and there was no removal of deposites. We then had State Bank Institutions also in abundance, (but nothing in comparison with those now in operation) who were most willing and desirous to accommodate the people with their paper money, and for this laudable purpose, many of them put into circulation three dollars in the form of paper, for every dollar of specie which could be found in their vuults. Besides the facility afiorded hy the Banks of obtaining their paper money, by which nil classes of persons, became more or less indebted to the Banks, almost every merchant had a Bunk of his own, und issued his as some do now without possibly hav ing a dollar of specie in possession for their re demption. this was all very fine, for the time being, people supposed they had the world in a stlngS But what was the effect pro duced hy this paper, with which the whole courtUy-jyas then inundated? Were not our merchauts, our lawyers, and a large portion of our honest tradesman* mechanics, and farmers, converted into a band of wifdand reckless speculators, in the hope of getting ricllßl, a dash, however, forlorn that hope might be? Waauot a fictitious value given to all kinds of property, and was not this fictitious value kept up as long as it practically could be, hy the art of puffing and de ception ? Did not this facility of incurring debt, for a time almost obliterate that salutary unwilling ness to run in debt, which is the safeguard of ho nesty ? Did it not cause an unprincipled careless ness as to the fulfilment of pecuniary engagements, and the payment of old debts except they could be fulfilled and paid hy new Bank discounts, which only increased them ? These are questions, which must he the affirmative by every honest man, if he them at all. But what followed’ this expanded system of paper credit in the years, 1819, 1820, and down to 1814 ? Why, this flood of irredeemable paper, with which the country had been inundated, had to he redeemed. Sudden con traction of discounts were consequently called for by the Bank—our imports being near sixty mil lions more than our exports, the foreign now r demanded satisfaction —pay day had arrived, and sooner or later like the period of death, it will come, but it found thousands unprepared to meet theit engagements —property consequently had to he sacrificed—the fictitious value, which it had ac quired, vanished like the baseless fabric of a vision —that, which a short time before might have brought one hundred thousand dollars, now could not be sold for one half that sum, and ruin, distress, and bankruptcy, was the necessary consequence. Is not this sober fact, I appeal to every honest man for an answer. Now, the same causes, always pro duce the same effects, while different causes may possibly produce like effects. But, was this state of things, then, produced by a want of a National Bank, or the removal of deposites, which the ad vocates of General Harrison, would now persuade the people, is the cause of all their pecuniary em barrassment, certainly not Sir, w T e then had aU. States Bank, and there was no removal of deposites, nevertheless ruin, bankruptcy, and pecuniary dis tress met us, wherever we went —if then, when we had a United States Bank, and there was no re moval of deposites, that institution could not avert the evil, could it do so—now, even were it in ex istence—is not the truth this, that the facility af forded the people of running into debt hy that in stitution, and all the other institutions of a similar character in the country, the source from whence all our then pecuniary distress and embarrassment arose ? Every honest man will answer in the affirmative. But, Mr. Editor, however, incontrovertible these ’’acts may appear to every unprejudiced mind, still I have little doubt, hut that they will he denied as true, by the warm supporters of General Harrison. For— “ Mhd conviii’ i <1 against ihoir will Are of the same opinion .still.” But I do not intend to rest the fact upon my sav so —I intend to come nearer home for the purpose of exposing the disingenuous appeal, which is made to the passions of the people, by the political sup porters of General Harrison for the Presidency. I take it for granted, that the opinion of their own candidate for the Vice Presidency, John Tyler, is good evidence on this point, expressed too at a time when he had no interest to deceive the peo ple. Hear, vvliat he says on this point, in a speech delivered by him in the Senate of the United States, April 6, 1819—and if his language does not kindle the feeling of shame in the bosom of every Harrison man, who have been endeavouring to per suade the people that all the pecuniary distress in this country is to he attributed to the past and pre sent administration, then, indeed, I know not what ever will. “ For one, (says Mr. Tyler) I enter my protest against the Banking system, as conducted in this country—a system not to he supported hy any cor rect principles of political economy; a gross delu sion ; a dream of a visionary ; a system which has done more to corrupt the morals of society than any thing else; which has introduced a struggle tor wealth, instead of that honorable struggle which governs the actions of a patriot, and makes ambi tion virtue; which has made the husbandman spurn his cottage, and introduced a spirit at variance with the simplicity of our institutions. I call upon the warm advocates of the Banking system to surren der their errors. Shall I take them by the hand and lead them through our cities ? Bankruptcy meets us at every step—ruin stares us every where in the face. Shall I be told of the benefits arising to commerce from the concentration of capital ? Away with the delusion—experience has exposed its fallacy—true, for a moment, it has operated as a stimulous, hut, like ardent spirits, it has produced activity and energy hut for a moment; relaxation has followed, and the terror of death has ensued. When you first open, the goddess, pretending to he wealth, stands at the door inviting all to enter and receive, accommodation: Splendid palaces arise—the ocean is covered with sails—but some ter at ion in the state of the country takes place, andr when the thoughtless adventurer, seated in the midst of his family in the midst of permanent security , sketches to himself long and halcyon, his pros pects are overshadowed , and misery , ruin, and bank ruptcy make their appearance in the form of Bank curtailments. If this he true, and I appeal to tho knowledge of all men for its truth, I demand to know, if you can pul down tho system top. soon—. can we too soon escape tho danger with which wo arc surrounded.” This was. the language of the present whig can didate for the Vice-Presidency, (Mr. Tyler,), when he had no motive to deceive hisconstituents-—whe ther Itig opinions remain the same.now or not, it ig not necessary to inquire. But again, in 1825, had we not another flood of bank paper thrown into circulation, which inun. dated the whole country ? And what followed ? Did not contraction, deprieiationof property, ruin, distress and bankruptcy follow ? Had we not then a National Bunk ? Yes. Were any deposites re moved ? No. Who was then the President of these United States? Was not John Q,. Adams ? And who cast hie vote us un elector for the Stuto of
